Offering: A coastal culinary tradition in cool months is inviting a few dozen of your closest friends over, building a fire in your backyard pit and roasting a couple bushels of local cluster oysters. There's just something about steaming oysters in your back yard that begs for the camaraderie of friends.
But at Grand Strand Culinary Tours, we don't stop with that simple tradition. We take our guests back a century to experience a culinary treat you can't get anywhere else: Pine Sap Potatoes. We found a native who dives in the
Waccamaw
River for hardened pine sap that was dumped there a hundred years ago when turpentine was big business in these parts.
He boils the amber chunks in a cast iron cauldron, and then tosses in sweet potatoes and white baking potatoes. In minutes a one-of-a-kind delicious dish is ready. Don't forget the cameras, because a 1948 Power Wagon is involved.
